On the topic of land bases, my meta is heavy on blood moon and land destruction at the moment, what do you guys think would be the best middle ground on basics to run in this environment? My current idea for land base is this
more islands for cantrips and an extra plains for the ability to grace/unlife. I lose out on x1 utility land, and lose out on multiple scrylands but feel like this improves my matchup vs these land hate decks enough for it to not hurt me against other decks. Does anyone have input for this?
things i like about the list so far -
Haven't taken out any fast mana, so it enables turn 3/4 wins at the same rate. obviously leyline dilutes the pool a little bit on usable cards while scrying etc but it hasn't bothered me too much.
Things I don't like -
No peer through depths/mystical teachings. If I don't hit cantrips or scry lands I have to rely on spoils of the vault more which is basically hearthstone.
Please give advice on what I have so far!
